ATTENTION - To all subscribers interested in adult reading research

The 47th International Reading Association Convention will be held in 
San Francisco on April 28-May 2, 2002. As part of the Convention, IRA 
offers a series of Institutes on Sunday, April 28. You must 
pre-register for these Institutes. To download registration 
information or to register online, go to http://www.reading.org.

Of particular interest to adult educators - and those in family 
literacy - is Institute #13: Teaching Reading to Adults: Effective 
Research-Based Strategies. In this day-long session, you will hear 
research findings from several ongoing studies and applications of 
findings from those studies. Included on the speaker list are John 
Comings and John Strucker (Harvard, NCSALL), Nickie Askov (Penn 
State, Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy), Sandra 
Baxter and John Kruidenier (National Institute for Literacy), Judy 
Alamprese (Abt Associates), Heide Spruck Wrigley (Aguirre), and 
Miriam Burt (National Center for ESL Literacy Education).

If you are going to IRA, I encourage you to register for this 
Institute! If you have questions about the institute, you can contact 
me at BLV1@psu.edu. We look forward to seeing you there.
